Black Spending on Black Friday
Come on now! What better day to spend money in the black community. You are going to buy all kinds of gifts for family and friends. Someone wants some cologne or perfume. Someone has to have a guitar. You know that cousin who wants a basketball or tennis racquet. Maybe you want to encourage people to go green. You can do all of this and spend money in the black community. Go to www.Blackbuying.com and check out some of their great selections of merchandise. Are you going to take the family out to dinner this holiday season? Find a Black owned restaurant.
This is the perfect time to do some research and see what's out there. I have looked all over for black businesses and they are out there. It just takes a little bit of effort on your part to find them. Also, you may find that once you begin to patronize these businesses you might naturally begin to return to them without even thinking much about it. It is important to assimilate and to include ourselves in all aspects our this great society. However, as African Americans, for the most part, our attention to our businesses has been dismal.
Build relationships with business owners. Keep them honest. If you don't like their business practices then tell the world about it. But just get started right now. For my money that most substantial way to spend money in the black community is to spend you money with the farmers and grocery store owners. We desperately need the pillars of our community standing strong. Find a way to support local farmers and grocers and tell the world about that too. I am excited for the possibility of the future as we begin to redirect money back into our own communities.
